“The world is hungering for peace,” says Lord Baden-Powell, “but peace will not come merely through leagues and legislation and alliances. They are never to be depended upon, because there is not much political value in each of them. True peace can only be founded on the spir.t ot peace ,the will for peace, in the people themselves. Me old ones have ne\ei been brought up in that spirit. Mo have always thought in terms of war, fighting, or self-interest, and never been taught to think of others first instead of ourselves. It is difficult to ‘teach an old dog new tricks,’ out with the young it is different. Me can mould all these, young people and change their spirit into that oi unselfishness.”
